Wow can’t think of anyone more perfect for this role. Def a Oscar type role. I am in the process of reading the book. Have to say it is a tough read very technical. DaVinci was an absolute genius. He incorporated so much more in his work then art. He was a Scientist. He was a mathematician. He was a genius and a complicated man. He was gay and if folks thought Oliver liked them a little too young they are going to have a major problem with Leo V.

Paramount has beaten out Universal in a seven-figure bidding war for the rights to Walter Isaacson’s book on Leonardo da Vinci, Variety can confirm. The biopic will star fellow Leo, Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio will also produce the film under his Appian Way banner alongside president of production Jennifer Davisson.
